    Different cylinder heads, rockers & bump sticks for use on the 6.5

    Except the people who like to get reamed still need to be blown. I personally think that wasting money/time on an experimental cam is much more worth while than wasting money/time on porting heads.... [emoji15] In all reality, anything we do aside from throwing a better turbo, exhaust and...

    A free shirt!? Makes me want a Moose Pump just for the shirt. Leroy only gives stickers [emoji16] Looking forward to you getting this thing together! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Not that I can tell. It sits flush on the seat like it should and it looks like the stem is straight. I am running to my parents tonight to get my dads spring compressor so I can pull it apart. Should know for sure then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    May be hard to tell in the pictures, especially since I wiped the head off, but you can see a "ring" in the piston where the valve was hitting it and the exhaust valve was pretty well cleaned off compared to all the other valves. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Well, still looks like I am lucky. I decided to pull the head, for two reasons. 1)bc I don't have anything that I can attach to the cylinder to pressurize it to change the spring with the head still on 2) Bc I didn't want to risk changing the spring and still have a problem. I decided it would...

    Looks like, as long as this is the only problem, I may be about as lucky as I can be. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yes, injectors, rockers and the pump. Rockers (on the driver side anyway) looked like they did the day I put them in. Nothing obvious wrong with them without pulling them off and looking over them. I know someone (maybe you?) had issues with the rockers binding somewhere, but I planned on...

    I will probably tear it down a little further regardless. I'd like to find my issue before swapping the bolt on parts over to the new engine. I like to find the problem with cold hard mechanical evidence so I know said problem won't be transferred over to the new engine. Sent from my iPhone...

    It actually still seems to have good power. I was unloaded so that could be a different story with anything behind it, but I got on it a few times to see if it would have maybe cleared itself out and it still seemed to pull strong. But cruising along at low rpms it will rattle your teeth out...

    Yep. And unfortunately I haven't needed the truck for much of the winter and now that I am going to start needing it more often, it decided to die. I blame my machine shop. This engine was supposed to be together and in the truck BEFORE winter. Instead I didn't get the engine back until smack...

    Well, my truck is prematurely down. Was driving it home earlier this week when it started missing really bad and blue smoking really bad. At first I thought maybe it jumped timing or had a rocker issue. After checking the fuel, changing filters and adjusting timing and having none of them have...

    The people here, at least on the posts I have read, seem to have a lot more knowledge and useful information than most of the people on the Facebook pages. There are a few that frequent the Facebook pages that are pretty knowledgeable, but most of them seem to be people with little knowledge of...

    I was just being a smart a**. I don't get on the "help" section on this forum, but I do get on a couple of the 6.5 Facebook pages. And if the help section on here is anything like the Facebook pages, PMD is the answer for any and all 6.5 problems. After posting that and rereading it, I thought...

    Would I? If I had the chance, probably lol. Should I? Probably not. I would love to try one of the 180+ cc pumps. But that definitely does worry me. Especially since this is a truck that I actually use and isn't just a go fast and show it off truck. I think if I really got to the point of...

    I keep my "spare" PMD in the barn. You never know when a faulty PMD can cause your db2 engine to act up. They're sneaky little bastards. I always keep mine stashed away just in case I need to run a PMD diagnostic.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Buy mine, that will give me an excuse to go bigger[emoji16]. His puts out a few cc more than mine, but I bet if you sent it to the moose guys they could fine tune the pump timing so you can run higher fuel pressures to probably get the same output, maybe more[emoji6]. You know you want to...

    You're going all in on this it sounds like. I planned on hooking my cruise up but have managed to never get even get around to locating the parts I need. I never bothered hooking up a fast idle or the cold advance. Has started for me every single time except once in single digit weather and no...

    Yes, R&D was who I was looking into using before I got my marine pump and had Unique Diesel build it. They still use a db2 as their base but "convert" them to a db4 for there higher output pumps. His smaller pumps (110cc and under I believe) are still db2. The 150 and 180 pumps are the ones he...
